Ok!
Some people on The Biggest Loser weigh less than they used to. Here’s their secret: exercise and eat healthier food. In other news, Kevin Federline told Britney Spears that he will take their kids off her tour if she doesn’t stop her wild ways. She’s been clubbing with her back up dancers, and the mag says her shouting “Merry Christmas” during a March 24 concert and wearing a blonde wig is evidence that she’s “increasingly erratic.” A source says Kevin, “didn’t sign up to be the babysitter so she could party.” Next up, in a two page interview with Brittany Murphy about her dog, the mag prints this sentence: “You would think that, since she’s been married for almost two years, owning a cute puppy would point to one thing on Brittany Murphy’s to-do list: babies!” In Lindsay Lohan news, a mutual friend says she and Samantha Ronson were cheating on each other. “Sam’s 100 percent cheated. [sic] But Lindsay hasn’t exactly been faithful herself,” says the pal. “She would make out with a tree if it called her beautiful.” The mag redeems this F of an issue with a Kathy Griffin bikini shoot. As you’ll recall Kathy was recently pictured in her bathing suit with Paris Hilton. “A lot more guys were looking at me than Paris,” says Kathy. “Granted, they were gay, but they were checking out my hot ass!” She calls out new Hollywood moms who parade their post-baby bodies in a bikini, saying, “Most American women don’t lose weight after they have kids, but according to Hollywood you do! It’s like a diet!” and shares her thoughts on other star’s swimsuit looks. (Fig. 1)

Life & Style
In an 8-page interview, Nadya Suleman claims once again that she’s never been on food stamps, says now she’s going to “wait until the kids get much older to go back and finish getting my master’s degree,” and insists, “if I were married, I’d still be judged, but not this harshly.” She denies that she used to be a stripper and says the only plastic surgery she’s had is a breast reduction. The cover claims she talks about the octuplets’ father and having more kids, but she just says she won’t give any more information on the dad and when the mag asks if she’d consider adoption, she replies, “I don’t know.” Moving on: Angelina and Brad are fighting over what religion the kids should be raised with. Angelina once said she would teach her kids about all faiths and let them pick, but Brad wants the kids raised Baptist like he was. “He’s from a family that looked at church as a big part of their lives,” says an insider, “and he wonders why he can’t expose his own children to the same influence.” Rosalie Hale of Twilight spent the night at co-star Robert Pattinson’s place after a party. There are pictures of Pete Wentz partying with scantily clad women at the Palms Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. He was “dancing with a girl, then he was being wheeled around in a wheel chair and playing slip-and-slide with KY lubricant.” Wife Ashlee Simpson was not present, but it turns out the whole scene was being filmed by the hotel for promotional footage. According to Dr. Rey’s Casebook, post-nose job “Megan [Fox]’s sniffer complements her face” but “Sarah Jessica [Parker]’s could use some straightening.” He also claims Claire Danes would look better with Hayden Panettiere’s nose, but we beg to differ.
